Martin Luther Cathedral, Daugavpils
Martin Luther Cathedral, Daugavpils, Lutheran cathedral in Daugavpils, Latvia.
Description
Martin Luther Cathedral is a brick building designed in the Neo-Gothic style with pointed arches and tall windows that draw your eye upward. The interior follows classical Lutheran design principles with a clear layout and a balance of decoration that neither overwhelms nor seems bare.
History
Construction of the building took place in the late 1800s, during a period when Protestant faith was gaining strength across the Baltic region. The structure was completed in 1893 and became a symbol of Lutheran commitment in eastern Latvia.
Culture
The cathedral remains an active place of worship for the Lutheran community and demonstrates how Protestants practiced their faith in this corner of Latvia. You can sense how deeply rooted the Lutheran tradition is in the city's life when you visit.
Practical
The cathedral sits on Novembra Street 66 and welcomes visitors on most days throughout the week. It is helpful to check ahead if a service is taking place, as this may limit access for those coming to see the architecture.
Did you know?
The red brick exterior and design reflect building methods brought from northern Germany by craftsmen who helped construct this structure. This style stands apart from other religious buildings created around the same period in the city.
